This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





The altar of incense.



Of wood; so the inward parts were made, and covered with gold, Exo_30:1-10 1Ki_6:20,22; and from this covering of gold it was called the



golden altar. Three cubits high; one cubit higher than that in the tabernacle of Moses, Exo_30:2.



The length thereof two cubits; as long again as Moses’s altar of incense in the tabernacle.



The corners; the horns framed out of the four posts at each angle on the top of the altar. The sides of this altar, for it was made up on all sides, are here called



the walls thereof, made of wood, but covered with gold.



The table; some say it is spoken of this altar of incense; others say, the angel pointed him to the table of shew-bread, and spake of that.



Before the Lord; in the temple, not in the oracle, or holy of holies: this incense altar was placed without the oracle, as appears from the priests’ offering incense at it by courses, whereas none but the high priest might enter into the holy of holies.
